How did decolonization impact on Britain itself? And how did
Britain manage its transition from colonial power to postcolonial
nation? Sarah Stockwell explores this question principally via the
history of the overseas engagements of key institutions that had
acquired roles within Britain's imperial system: the Universities
of Oxford and Cambridge, the Bank of England, the Royal Mint, and
the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Using a huge range of fresh
archival sources, the author shows how these institutions fashioned
new roles at the end of empire, reconfiguring their activities for
a postcolonial world and deploying their expertise to deliver
technical assistance essential for the development of institutions
in new Commonwealth states. This study not only pioneers an
entirely new approach to the history of the British end of the
British empire, but also provides an equally novel cross-sectoral
analysis of institution-building during decolonization and
highlights the colonial roots of British postcolonial aid.
